The other four teams were all Big Ten, with Oregon at one, Ohio State at Two, Penn State at four, and Indiana at fifth, which caused one top college football analyst to make a sarcastic remark on SEC bias.

Many people have called for SEC bias over the years, meaning that the college football world favors teams from the SEC over every other conference, but the new college football rankings show that is not the case.
College football analyst Josh Pate tweeted a picture of the Top Five teams and stated,” SEC bias is out of control.
The SEC has always been the best conference in the sport, and that’s why they were always at the top, but this season, they have taken a step back, and maybe they will figure it out come playoff time.Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers (3) warms up ahead of the Longhorns’ game against the Florida Gators, Nov. 9, 2024 at Darrell K.
